Can you feel the love tonight?

Our sweet yellow lab, Lucie, just could not be sweeter with our girls.  Last night I was doing tummy time with Auden and Lu just curled right up next to her and rested her head on Auden's boppy.  It was so sweet!

Today we took Wynn up to a new grocery store here in town that was opening and had free pony rides.  She loved riding Blizzard the pony and went back for a few more rides!  They also had a bounce house and some other fun kid stuff.  It was ridiculously HOT though so we only stayed about 45 minutes.  I thought we were going to melt.  She had fun though and must've worn herself out because she's actually napping now!

And here's two pics of my sweet Auden.  Such a pretty little baby!

6.5 Weeks Old!

I can't believe that Auden is already 6.5 weeks old!  I just wanted to share a few pics of my sweet girl and her adoring big sister....

Say Cheese Pretty Girl!!

Auden smiled at me yesterday for the first time at 5 weeks and 5 days!!  I got her to do a few today too and caught them on film!  She's SO stinking cute I can't stand it!

4 Week Appt.

I can't believe that Auden is already a month old!  Wynn is still a fantastic big sister and hasn't had even a second of jealousy towards her.  We're really lucky that way!  Here's the stats from her 4 week check:

Weight:  8 lbs. 4 oz.
Height:  21 inches

She's growing finally!  Just to compare here's Wynn's stats from her 5 week appt.

Weight: 8 lbs. 2 oz.
Height:  21.75 inches

3 Week Weight Check

So our little lady FINALLY hit her birth weight today!  7 lbs. 11 oz. on the dot today!  She has grown an inch since birth and it long and lean so I'm sure she's destined to be a supermodel. :)  I am just wanting  my sweet girl to continue to grow and thrive so hopefully her 1 month appt. next week shows an ever bigger gain!

Sweet Baby Bunny....

One of my fantastic girlfriends, Toni, bought the sweetest gift for Auden and I just had to post a pic. Isn't it darling??!! It's her first personalized gift and if you know me at all you know i LOVE personalized stuff for my kiddos. :) Thanks Toni!!

Our Sweet Surprise....

was a gorgeous and sweet baby girl with a full head of dark hair and navy blue eyes that we named Auden Elisabeth. She was born on June 24th by C section and has been doing wonderfully ever since. :) She is such an amazing blessing to our family and her big sister loves her with all her heart! Wynn has been doing anything and everything she can do help with Auden and it just melts me. :) I am so grateful for my two gorgeous girls. Here's her stats from birth and then her one week stats:

Birth:
Weight: 7 lbs. 11 oz.
Length: 20 inches

1 Week: 7 lbs. 4 oz.
Length 20 1/4 inches

She's been nursing really well and other than her eating all day long everyday she fits into our family seamlessly. :) Here's a few pics:

37 Weeks 3 days

So here's the ginormous belly at 37 weeks 3 days! My feet and ankles are super swollen but so far that's it. I can't believe this baby is coming in 5 days!!

Wynn's First Dance Recital!

Wynnie had her first dance recital for her pre dance class on Saturday and she couldn't have done better! She was SO cute in her costume and she got right up there and did most of what she was supposed to. There were probably 200 or so people in the performing arts center and it didn't even phase her. We weren't allowed to videotape it so we tried to do it on our camera but it turned out horribly. We did buy the DVD of the performance so I should have it in a few weeks and I'll try to post it once I edit it just down to her part. Sam and I, Gigi, Auntie Mimi and Lizzie all came to cheer her on. :) Here's a few pics of my tiny dancer...

She's on her Way.......

Wynn just learned how to pedal and steer her trike at the same time! It felt like a huge milestone and we're so proud of her. :)

Wynnie has loved to play cheerleader with her pom poms lately which of course I think is so cute!

Happy Belated Easter Weekend!

So I'm a few days behind posting Easter weekend pics but such is life. We had a super busy, but fun, weekend! On Friday we went to the Zoo for Eggs, Claws and Paws with Auntie Mimi, Joe and Lizzie. We got our pics taken with the Easter bunny, rode the carousel and went to the petting zoo. Saturday began with our neighborhood Easter egg hunt where Wynn had a ball!! She ate SO much candy it was ridiculous. Sunday we ventured up to Auntie Mimi and Uncle Redsie's house and had an Easter egg hunt with Joe and Lizzie and then had Easter dinner. It was a wonderful weekend filled with family and fun! Enjoy!

Fun with Lizzie and Joe at the zoo!


I LOVE these goats!

25 Week Belly Pics and a Fu Man Chu

So, by popular demand here are my 25 week belly pics with mb2. I feel like I've gained a million pounds. :(




Check out Wynn's fu man chu from her ice cream treat the other night! It looked absolutely hilarious!



And here's just one of my happy gorgeous girl. I love her so much!

25 Weeks Already!??

How did this happen already? I will be 25 weeks tomorrow and this pregnancy has just FLOWN by! I guess just being with Wynn most of the time and working full time makes my days go quick. Overall I'm feeling good. I have a tiny bit of heartburn some days and a little cramping but other than that I feel good! I think I've gained about 15 lbs. so far which I'm not loving but it is what it is. I eat healthy and obviously have to count out my portions, carbs, etc. because of taking insulin so it's not like I'm able to pig out on anything. We're working on the nursery and I will post pics when that's done. I really need to get to posting a new belly pic too. All I keep hearing is how tiny I still am and how I'm all belly (although I don't think my bootie would agree) so I'm hoping to stay that way. :) Babe weighed 1.7 lbs. at last Friday's u/s which they said was right on for my due date! I can't believe I only have 13 weeks to go until my C section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D.isney on Ice!

Sam and I took Wynn to D.isney on Ice last Friday and had a FANTASTIC time!! Seriously if anyone is considering going and taking your little one I say do it!! Not only did she have a ball but we did too. Watching her little face light up with happiness was so fun! She didn't take a nap that day and the show wasn't until 7 pm so we were a little concerned that she would be difficult but she was fantastic. We got home about 10 pm and she stayed awake the entire day! Must been the excitement of the night that kept her up :)

Snow Days!

We got over 10 inches of snow yesterday and today so we've been having so much fun with Wynners playing in the snow! She tried to catch snowflakes on her tongue and kept eating snow saying "I wuuvvvvvv snow". It was so stinking cute! We didn't have a sled so we rigged up a ghetto sled out of a laundry basket and rope. She still loved it. :)

Tiny Dancer

Not sure if everyone who reads the blog knows but Wynners takes a dance class once a week for an hour. It's a predance class where they learn tap, ballet and tumbling. We just got the pic of what her class' costume will be for the June recital and it's super cute! Here's what our tiny dancer will be wearing!
